Needs work[edit]

This article reads like a contributor's note. No details of place or date of birth. List of magazines where work has appeared doesn't establish notability and doesn't seem 'encyclopedic'. Any awards, prizes? ISBNs for the books would be good. Stumps 19:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's because it's mostly written by Houlihan herself. See http://joanhoulihan.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-many-aholes-does-it-take-to-fill.html where she admits to posting all over the place as "rperlman" -- she just forget to mention she did it here too. Someone should confirm a birth year for her. 76.115.1.45 (talk) 00:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
